As the area leapfrogged through the seasons, seeming to skip spring entirely, when the streets of Langdon left unfinished last fall would be completed was a question everyone wondered. The Langdon City Commission and Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre were planning and ready for favorable weather to complete street projects as soon as possible. “Much of the time in our part of the country, we are just at the mercy of when conditions are fit to begin working on construction projects again. That can range from early April to late May,” Aakre shared. As residents get set for summer, Aakre shared that there is good news when it comes to the projection for completion dates. Spruce Valley, the contractor for the Phase 2 project which began in 2019, has made good progress thus far through mid-May and is on schedule to complete the project on time for the midJune deadline. The work remaining on the Phase 2 project with Spruce Valley is located primarily on 11th

Avenue, 3rd Street, 5th Street, and 8th Street. The remaining work for the contractor to tackle is some concrete items curb and gutter, valley gutters, sidewalks and driveways, but a vast majority of the work left to complete is the asphalt paving and the site restoration/seeding. “The original plan was to

to drive on through the winter and spring as well as to allow the trenches, where the pipes have been constructed, experience a freeze/thaw cycle and hopefully realize the majority of any trench settling that will occur. That way, major deficiencies can be corrected prior to the final paving being completed.” However, the unpredictable

North Dakota weather brought an early, large snowfall event. This was followed by inclement weather conditions that prevented construction to be able to completed and still get a quality product for the residents of Langdon to drive on over the winter. With that weather delay,

Anna Spivey named ND American Legionnaire of the Year You know her when you see her. What many may not know is that a common figure in the Langdon community was nominated by Langdon Post #98 to be the North Dakota American Legion Legionnaire of the Year. Anna Spivey was announced as the 2019 recipient of the Legionnaire of the Year Award in the March issue of the ND American Legion News publication. “I knew they had nominated me, but I was surprised I had won. I feel that people must appreciate what I do, but I just try to do for the Legion and the community what I can with no expectation of reward,” Spivey said. Anna has 23 continuous years of membership with Post #98 following a long involvement in military life as both an active duty member and spouse of an active member. She hasn’t been as active as she has been in the past with involvement in the county museum, Frost Fire, and, of course, veteran-related activities such as American Legion and veter-

an services. “I do these things, and I’m always trying to promote and make people aware of what is available in the community. The Legion has all these youth programs. I try to make sure that information is put out. I just try to benefit the community,” Spivey shared. Anna was raised in the Wales area and graduated from Lang-

don High School. Upon graduation, she entered the US Army and attended basic training at Ft. McClennan, Ala.. Upon completion she was trained in the medical field at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, then on to Ft. Benning, Ga., where she worked as a health nurse and in preventative medicine.

“My duty assignment was army health nurse. We taught prenatal classes for parents and did all the immunizations for military dependents of our service members. The army health nurse would do basically what a public health nurse does,” Spivey explained. During her time in the military, she met Linwood Spivey, a career soldier who was also in the medical field as a combat medic. They were married and became proud parents of two sons. Linwood served two tours in Vietnam, one in Korea and was stationed in Germany twice. Over the course of her husband’s career, Spivey was active and involved in their military lifestyle wherever they were stationed. “I have always tried to be helpful to people. On the last tour to Germany, I was part of like the advisory board for our commissary which would be like our grocery store. I was asked to be on that board. I was active with the Red Cross, cont. on page 2

the remainder of those items had to wait until this spring. In preparation for the completion of the work in the next few weeks, the contractor is preparing the aggregate base for paving operations and repairing some soft spots and areas that were hit especially hard with the spring snowmelt. “The contract date for substantial completion of the work is June 12, and currently, the contractor is on schedule. Their current plan is to be paving the streets the week of Memorial Day,” Aakre said. Meanwhile, Phase 1 work that is left is more than what was hoped for two years after it was suppose to be done. There is still quite a number of outstanding correctional items on the Phase 1 project with Quam Construction that primarily involves 7th Street and 12th Avenue. Generally, the remaining items can be described as concrete and asphalt repairs. There is some curb and gutter, valley gutter, and 7th Street concrete panel repairs on the concrete portion. There are some asphalt corrections to be made as well, primarily on 12th Avenue. “The schedule of when this cont. on page 2

Lafrenz Seed Solutions now serving area For Austin Lafrenz, the seed business is family tradition. When the opportunity for re-entering the trade was presented, Lafrenz took it as a chance to, once again, have a part in the agricultural community of Langdon. “I was pretty much raised out at the seed plant when I was growing up. There is just

the business until 2007. When the location came up for sale, Lafrenz saw the opportunity to rekindle the family tradition of providing quality seed services to the area. “This is the chance to step back into the business, hopefully grow it, and service Cavalier County customers,” Lafrenz said.

a lot of history up there, and I always loved the business,” Lafrenz explained. The Lafrenz name has been a part of the ag sector since the late 60's when Lafrenz's grandfather was part of the seed business. This continued with his father operating

Lafrenz is ready to create the relationships with producers that will make for longstanding customers. Lafrenz shares that he is available day or night to assist producers and meet their needs. That personal relationship will be stronger cont. on page 3

Langdon City Commission make plans for streets

The Langdon City Commission met on May 27 for the first time in person since the COVID-19 precautions enacted by the governor took effect. The first item on the agenda was Langdon City Commission Chair noting that the City of Langdon was awarded City of the Week for April 28 by KVRR and that the city is now in the running for city of the year. The Commission heard department reports before addressing unfinished business beginning with Andrew Aakre and Moore Engineering. Aakre reported that Quam Construction, the contractor for Phase 1, had been up to review the correction work needing to be completed. Quam would be in contact with their sub-contractors to schedule the correction work which Aakre noted was “wheels turning in the right direction”. The Phase 2 paving will be completed by Knife River Construction. This project was having the prep work being done at the time of the meeting. Aakre explained that the plan is currently to have mutltiple paving crews working to complete the project as quickly as possible. Following the paving of the streets there are only a few items left to be completed on Phase 2. The Commission and Aakre discussed that with the paving occurring, residents may want to avoid driving and parking on those streets where work

is obvious to avoid damage to the new surface and residents' vehicles. Aakre and the Commission reviewed the street evaluation proposal prepared by Moore for the city. The commissioners felt it was the right approach as presented by Moore and gave Aakre the go-ahead to begin the process of the street evaluations. The Commission and Aakre discussed the aftermath of the evaluation and the need for a public meeting to gain citizen feedback on project plans and proposals. With the current COVID-19 health crisis, a public forum may not be possible or not as well attended as the commissioners would like. Some suggestions were put forward on how the city could handle this. Included in unfinished business was the ordinance relating to the utility charges for multiple businesses in a building. Nowatzki explained that there has been opposition to the ordinance due to it being perceived as unfairly applied. After a review of the city books, there were disparities in charges found that have now been corrected. Nowatzki asked for any discussion or motions to change the ordinance. None were given and no petitioning businesses affected were present to discuss. Nowatzki and the other commissioners consider the issue closed. In new business, Nowatzki

presented a solution to the nuisance vehicle ordinance. As it stands now, residents cited with a nuisance vehicle have three weeks to address the issue before the city will begin monetary citations. A scrap business located in Cavalier has been contacted and is willing to travel to Langdon to pick up scrap metal including vehicles. Nowatzki explained there is no kick-back to the city, and the agreement is verbal only but would be helpful to residents unsure of what to do with vehicles that have been cited. In Other Businesses • The commissioners approved a fireworks permit. • All building permits were approved with the exception of one as it seemed excessively complicated. • Dennis Luhmann addressed the Commission asking for the city to pay $10,000 for part of an intersection he was planning to pour. Luhman presented figures based on his own calculations for the cost to the city. The project was to be completed the next day. The commissioners stated that they did not want to agree to a project without documentation of a quote from the company doing the work. The Commission directed Luhmann to bring a quote from the company to the next commission meeting for review before any decision on participating with taxpayers' dollars would be considered.

USDA releases Coronavirus food assistance program payment regulations The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has released regulations for direct payments under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP). “CFAP provides vital financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a 5% or greater price decline due to COVID-19 and face additional significant marketing costs as a result of lower demand, surplus production and disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities,” says Ron Haugen, North Dakota State University Extension farm management specialist. Enrollment for the CFAP will start May 26. Farmers and ranchers will receive direct support from two funding sources. The first is $9.5 billion in appropriated funding provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Stability (CARES) Act to compensate farmers for losses due to price declines that occurred between mid-January 2020 and midApril 2020. It also provides support for specialty crops for product that had been shipped from the farm during the same time period but subsequently spoiled due to loss of marketing channels. The second funding source uses the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act to compensate producers for $6.5 billion in losses due to ongoing market disruptions. Nonspecialty Crops and Wool Nonspecialty crops eligible for the CFAP payments include malting barley, canola, corn, upland cotton, millet, oats, soybeans, sorghum, sunflowers, durum wheat and hard red spring wheat. Wool also is eligible. Producers will be paid based on inventory subject to price risk held as of Jan. 15, 2020. A payment will be made based on 50% of a producer’s 2019 total production or the 2019 inventory as of Jan. 15, 2020, whichev-

er is smaller, multiplied by the commodity’s applicable payment rates. Payment rates for each commodity can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/cfap. Livestock Livestock eligible for the CFAP include cattle, lambs and yearling sheep, and hogs. The total payment will be calculated using the sum of the producer’s number of livestock sold between Jan. 15 and April 15, 2020, multiplied by the payment rates per head, and the highest inventory number of livestock between April 16 and May 14, 2020, multiplied by the payment rate per head. Payment rates for various types of livestock can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/cfap. Dairy For dairy, the total payment will be calculated based on a producer’s certification of milk production for the first quarter of calendar year 2020 multiplied by a national price decline during the same quarter. The second part of the payment is based on a national adjustment to each producer’s production in the first quarter. Payment calculations can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/cfap. Specialty Crops For eligible specialty crops, the total payment will be based on the volume of production sold between Jan. 15 and April 15, 2020. That is the volume of production shipped, but unpaid, and the number of acres for which harvested production did not leave the farm or mature product was destroyed or not harvested during that same time period, and which has not and will not be sold. Specialty crops include almonds, beans, broccoli, sweet corn, lemons, iceberg lettuce, spinach, squash, strawberries and tomatoes. A full list of eligible crops can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/cfap. Additional crops may be deemed eligible at a later date. Eligibility

Payments are limited to $250,000 per person or entity for all commodities combined. Applicants who are corporations, limited liability companies or limited partnerships may qualify for additional payment limits in situations in which members actively provide personal labor or personal management for the farming operation. Producers also will have to certify they meet the adjusted gross income limitation of $900,000 unless at least 75% of their income is derived from farming, ranching or forestry-related activities. Producers must be in compliance with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation program provisions. Applying for Assistance Producers can apply for assistance beginning May 26, 2020. Additional information and application forms can be found at https:// www.farmers.gov/cfap. Producers of all eligible commodities must apply through their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. Documentation to support the producer’s application and certification may be requested. FSA has streamlined the signup process so it does not require an acreage report at the time of application. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 28, 2020. Payments The $125,000 per commodity limit is eliminated but keeps the $250,000 per recipient limit on payments. The USDA will pay out only 80% of the maximum direct payment initially, reserving the remaining 20% in case funding is used up. The remaining portion of the payment, not to exceed the payment limit, will be paid at a later date as funds remain available. Contact your local FSA office for more information. Information also can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/coronavirus.

Brush with the Bunch

Liann Zeller joined the Brush Bunch in 2011 at that time she was the Chamber Director and the Brush Bunch had moved from the St Boniface Community Center to the Chamber building on Central Ave. Now known as the Gorge Gallery, I guess we took over, We met in the Chamber every Tuesday and I suppose Liann figured "I may as well join them they seem to have so much fun." Liann has shown at several art shows, I looked up some shows and noticed that in 2014 one of her paintings was of their cabin in Colorado, where Liann and Bill came from. When Laurel recently gave a demonstration on the use of a glue gun on your painting Liann took part in this demo. The accompaning photo is of Liann doing the book work for the Gorge Arts & Heritage Council she is the Treasure of that group. We enjoy her and Bill's presence in our club. We will begin meeting June 2 after our pandemic vacation. Something for you; "During the filming of a chariot race in "Ber Hur" a small red car can be seen in the distance."

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson When coronavirus first hit the news and made headlines, I looked up the symptoms and what the initial findings were for how it affected the body. I knew those symptoms. I knew what the effect of them were like for someone on a intimate level. I knew what it was like to watch and not be able to do anything to help. I knew what others were experiencing as they dealt with COVID -19, both in caring for a patient and suffering from it. I knew because I went through that with my mother. My mother was an amazing woman. She was everything to me, and the last five years I had with her were spent with her as she went through cancer treatments for a rare and essentially terminal form of breast cancer. I adapted my life to make hers better and safer. My schedule for school, choice in education, health care and social life were adapted. Cancer didn't care though, it was already inside. It reached her lungs. She fought. She died. My adaptions to secure her health only went so far. What COVID means to me is the ability to have those adaptions be even more successful this time in protecting others. It means that hearing the stories of how people suffocated would have been preventable. How they would cough and cough with no end until gasping for breath and still not being able to feel that relief would most likely not have occurred if proper

precautions were followed. The mild symptoms for some turns into a battle to live as the oxygen needed to survive just didn't reach far enough inside of them. It's terrible to watch. It's terrible to hear. It's just terrible to know that each new positive test has the potential to be one new death. Those that do recover are also facing a battle they did not sign up for. COVID19 ravages the body causing damage to internal organs. Lungs are no longer able to work properly as they did before. Healthy individuals now face years of struggle to breath and return to normal activity levels. It didn't matter if they followed precautions and adapted their life. It didn't matter because there was someone who didn't. I'm sharing my reason for empathy and compassion to those that are afraid of getting this. Those who have pre-existing conditions like Cystic Fibrosis. Those that have compromised immune systems making their chance of survival if they get it so much less than that healthy individual. The awareness that there are very simple, yet effective, measures that everyone can do needs to be pushed. It's been months now that American citizens have had the ability to adapted to what needs to be done. Resistance to these measures doesn't mean anything to the future other than as a historical footnote. What do you want to be remembered for during this time. What does COVID mean to you?

Dear Editor

To the editor: Beware of Utility Scams The effects of the COVID-19 virus have been felt around the world. Unfortunately, beyond health risks, bad actors are using the pandemic to capitalize off unsuspecting victims. Scams are nothing new, even in the utility world. Scammers prey upon victims by manipulating their emotions and creating fear. Like other legitimate businesses, utility companies will never ask for personal information over the phone or by email to satisfy payment on a past-due account. Never give out your Social Security number, date of birth or other critical identifying information. If you ever receive a disconnect notice by email or over the phone, verify the sender’s address or telephone number is your utility’s. Remember that phone numbers and caller IDs can be spoofed or mimicked. If in doubt, hang up and call your utility company’s customer service department to verify a request is valid. A utility company will never call you and threaten immediate disconnection if you do not provide a credit card number by phone. Never pay your utility bill by giving your bank account, credit card

or CVC number over the phone. Also, never purchase a prepaid debit card or anything else someone tells you to that is not traceable by your credit card company. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, utility companies continue to work with customers on payment options, including balanced billing, when necessary. If you are experiencing a financial hardship, contact your utility provider to discuss a plan that works for you. Be smart, be safe and always verify any requested information with your utility provider. Always call the utility customer service department using the telephone number listed on their website or your utility bill. Report to your local authorities any suspicious phone calls or emails posing as your utility provider. This is criminal activity. You can find more information about utility disconnection rules on the Public Service Commission website at https://psc.nd.gov/public/consinfo/ysk.php Brian Kroshus – Chairman, North Dakota Public Service Commission Kroshus holds the portfolio for regulation of investor-owned utilities operating in North Dakota.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Here’s to the Gayton Homemakers… Growing up on a farm in Emmons County between Hazelton and the Missouri River in Gayton Township, our nearest neighbors were at least two miles away. Hazelton is 10 miles to the east, and that is where we went to school. Nearly all the women who lived in that area and to an area west of there we still call Livona, were farm wives and didn’t work outside the farm. Oh, but they worked hard: milked cows, gathered eggs, drove truck during harvest, got us all breakfast before we went to school, cleaned the house, did the laundry, wrote letters to friends too far away to call (long distance was expensive then) and bottle fed those sick calves in the spring of the year. These women worked hard all right, and I don’t ever remember any of them complaining about anything, not even the heat of summer or the cold of winter. And all these women, if my memory is right, about 50 of them over a period of years, belonged to a club called the Gayton Homemakers Club. To my mother, Agnes, and my dad’s sister, Bernice, this was an important club to belong because it was camaraderie, and it was education. Sometimes they would take a trip to the Emmons County Museum in Linton, the Bridgeman Creamery in Bismarck and the International Peace Garden. I don’t remember the frequency of their meetings, but I do remember my mother talking about going to the next one and what she would be doing there. They quilted, sewed clothes, cooked, baked, canned,

plucked chickens and sometimes changed oil in vehicles. It was a different generation then, and these women made no bones about digging in and getting dirt under their fingernails. Most of them were either teenagers or young women during the World War II years, and they learned to scrounge and save and be very efficient. My grandmother, Selma Baker, was a charter member when it was formed in November 1934. Other members included Beryl Kiefer, Ida Gilman, Ida Shiermeister, Hazel Horstmeyer, Maria Kyes, Husky Crimmins, Minnie Watkinson, Gladys Perry, Julia Crimmins, Inez Crimmins, Florine Shiermeister, Peggy Kiefer and June Grenz. I wish I could remember more of the names, but I don’t. The Gayton Homemakers personified Yankee Ingenuity. And when the “younger girls” joined the club, one of the first things they did was learn how to can vegetables. To them, that was important because it was their contribution to the family because in our family, my dad was always out in the field on a tractor, working with the cows in the barn or pushing snow off the road so the school bus could get to our farm in those years before we moved into Hazelton. If you mention the word homemaker today, and I will probably get calls, it would be considered sexist. But in the 1960s, all these women, including Harriet Humann, who was a registered nurse at the Linton Hospital, all embraced their club because it was as important to them as belonging to the Lions or Jaycees. Even as a little kid, I remember and understand how progressive the Gayton Homemakers were. At one point in time, they took it upon themselves to clean up and paint a nearby one-room school that had

been closed for a number of years and was deteriorating. They used their club dues to purchase paint and turn that building into something nice to look at as you drove by. These women had compassion that I haven’t seen since. As an example, my aunt, Hazel Horstmeyer, lived just a couple of miles east of the Missouri River and would often get nature’s visitors: deer, coyotes, fox, skunks, raccoons and the like. During a harsh winter, she would go out in the snow and scatter grain around the farm yard so those animals had enough to eat and maintain their energy levels through cold spells. She talked about how she learned things like that at “homemakers.” She actually took a sickly fawn into the house and bottle fed it back to health then let it go toward the Missouri River bottom. Yes, these rural women were an incredible group, and I doubt there is any “club” today that can compare to all the things they did or could do including putting pressure on politicians. Homemaker clubs have faded away through the years, at least in North Dakota. It was a big thing in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s but lost its appeal in the 1970s. But it was a great educational tool and helped a lot of women form life-lasting friendships. I believe the club disbanded in the mid 1990s. I was just a little kid looking in but remember the wholesome, goodintended reasons these women had, as well as their creativity and ingenuity. So it is with pride I salute the memory of the Gayton Homemakers Club, and all other homemakers who made Emmons County and North Dakota a better place to live and raise a family during a tougher time in our history.

Dakota Gardener: Can a raised garden bed be functional and beautiful?

Dead patches in Lawn: This has been the number one question that has been asked over and over and I can understand the frustration the home owners are going through. Well, after a lot of search, research and testing, I got some answers as to what is causing these dead spots. First thing to rule out is whether it is a grub problem. Time and time, I have checked these spots, dug them and never found any grubs. Moreover, the grass and roots are intact that it was hard to shovel these spots. This clearly indicates that there is no grub feeding on the roots. Also, the dead spots that you see early in the spring after the snow melts are not due to grubs. The first culprit is to blame our extended winters with 60-90 days of snow cover on the ground. However, this extended snow cover is favoring some fungi called gray and pink snow molds that are harboring these spots and actually causing the death of the grass. The fungus is most active in the fall where it starts to form fungal mycelial matts under the snow and kills off the grass. These fungi also produce sclerotia which sit in the thatch and can be a source of reinfection, if the thatch is not removed. As the snow melts, grey mycelial mats which look like grey cotton candy, can often still be observed, but most people are not looking at this stage and miss this. The problem only becomes evident as the lawn starts to green and people observe the already dead patches. By this point, there is not likely to be much fungus present or active, and therefore explains why the diagnostic lab has a hard time finding anything in samples that have previously been sent in. Control The most important thing is to try and reduce the insulation on the ground especially if you have had

NDSU Extension Notes

a problem in the past. Make sure leaves are raked up in the fall and try not to bank too much snow in one place. Once the snow cover is off, it’s important to rake up the thatch as this will remove any sclerotia (resting spores of fungus) and mycelial (fungal strands) matting which remains and could cause problem the following year. Once raked up, if the area is dead, it can be re-seeded. Also, it is important not to apply a nitrogen application after September and to keep mowing the thatch. Often times people slow up on mowing and may even make a nitrogen application as late as October. This only serves to increase the amount of thatch and therefore insulation creating the ideal conditions for fungal development. Unfortunately, homeowners do not have very good chemical options as the commercial people do and they are very expensive!

lars that tunnel fruit and produce ‘wormy’ apples. The best time to spray for these moths is right after the petals drop. Protect with insecticides like Spinosad (very safe), imidan, pyrethrins, zeta-cypermethrin. Do not spray with carbaryl because it may cause fruits to abort.

Many apologies to my patient neighbors! My first raised garden bed was admittedly an eyesore. We did a standard raised garden bed using cedar 2x10s as the frame. Within 15 minutes of filling the bed with a soil mixture, a stray cat brazenly jumped into the low bed and used it as a litter box. To prevent feral cats and hungry wildlife from interfering with my new garden, we quickly erected a removable fence out of PVC pipe and chicken wire, hence the eyesore. Cognizant of neighborhood aesthetics, my patient husband constructed a taller raised garden bed that doesn’t require ugly fencing. This new bed measures 2 feet tall by 8 feet long and 4 feet wide, and has an attractive frame of galvanized metal and pressure-treated wood. Construction was fairly simple. The long sides consist of sheets of 8- by 2-foot galvanized metal that are supported by 2x4s. Three 4x4 posts provide sturdy vertical support. The 4- by 2-foot end walls are constructed in a similar manner and then secured to the 4x4 posts. For detailed construction methods, visit this DIY website: http://blueberryhillcrafting.com/2013/04/24/howto-galvanized-garden-beds. Besides having a beautiful appearance, the galvanized beds are very functional and durable. The taller height will deter rabbits. Fingers crossed - I haven’t noticed any

cats so far. Furthermore, the elevated height will save my middle-aged back from bending over. As our population ages, we need to consider adaptive methods to continue gardening late into life as the aches and pains grow. Scientific studies show that elderly gardeners score higher than their counterparts on most major health indices. This is a great incentive to continue gardening. Some important points to consider in building a raised garden bed include: • Put down chicken wire or wire mesh on the bottom of the raised bed to deter pesky rodents. • Use landscape fabric or weed barrier on the bottom to keep out grass rhizomes. • Don’t build a raised bed that is more than 4 feet across; a comfortable reaching distance from either side of the bed is 2 feet across. Finally, what sort of soil mix should you add? Popular media and websites recommend large proportions of organic matter such as peat moss and compost. However, personal experience has taught me that too much organic matter in raised garden beds is problematic. Organic matter will decompose and settle dramatically from year to year. In addition, organic matter dries out a little quickly. Therefore, I am going to use a mix of approximately two-thirds topsoil and onethird peat moss by volume.

Lois M. Rounds

Obituaries

A private family service was held Saturday, May 23, 2020, at the Welter Funeral Home with burial at St. Paul’s Cemetery in Iroquois, SD, for Lois M. Rounds, 91, of Huron, SD, who passed away May 19, 2020, at Avera Dougherty Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD. Lois Marie Bartels was born on March 9, 1929, to Charles and Hazel Bartels on their farm outside of Gettysburg, SD. With a natural take-charge attitude, she kept all the farm animals in line, except for the goose. He would chase her around the farmyard with his wings spread wide and neck stretched out as he nipped at her legs. Charlie and Ha-

zel moved their family to Mobridge, SD, in 1938, where Lois attended school, graduating from Mobridge High School in 1947. Charlie and Hazel were determined that their children would attend college, so after graduation, Lois was off to Huron to attend St. John’s Medical Center (now known as Huron Regional Medical Center). It was while she was in Huron that she met Robert (Bob) Rounds. Bob and her were married on August 5, 1954, at the priest’s residence in Cavour, SD. They settled in Iroquois, SD, until Bob joined the Army. From then on, this little military family moved around the country experiencing the beauty of each area where they were stationed. No matter where they landed, she would head out to the nearest hospital, introduce herself, give them her

resume, and walk out with a job. Places where she nursed include Huron, SD; Mobridge, SD; Hawaii; Excelsior Springs, MO; Mt Clemens, MI; Newburgh, NY; Langdon; and finally returning to Huron until she retired in 2000. It’s hard to explain all the knowledge and experiences this woman gathered and the many hats she wore at these hospitals… from helping open the first ambulatory surgical center in the nation, to helping babies come into this wonderful world, even in a pickup, to doing an emergency tracheotomy on a patient. Her passion was nursing and she made the nursing world and her family proud. When she wasn’t working, she made sure her five children were cared for, loved, and could always find humor in everyday life. As she always told us, “Bloom where you’re planted.”

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Paul Olson Interim pastor at Emmanuel Evangelical Church, Langdon

How God Speaks (Part 1 of 4) There are many “voices” in the world today, but in this series we want to hear how God is speaking through His Word (the Bible), His Son (Jesus Christ), His Spirit, and, finally, His Creation. “Thus saith the Lord” is an off-repeated phrase in the Bible, and we recognize the Scriptures as the inspired and inerrant message from God to all of mankind. A close look at Hebrews 4:12 (an amazing text) will reveal at least four things about God’s Word: 1) It is “living” because it comes from a living God. 2) It is “powerful”, that is, it will be effectually working in the lives of those who receive it. 3) God’s Word is “penetrating to the innermost being”. 4) Finally, His

Word is “discerning”. The Greek word used here is where we get our English word “critic”. So let His Word critique you and not the other way around! Through His Word, God speaks to us about origins and about Himself and His attributes. He speaks about sin, prayer, marriage, heaven and hell. He speaks about love, salvation and eternal life. He speaks about assurance, peace, victory over sin, and much more! Colossians 3:16 tells us to let God’s Word (the Bible) have a huge part of our lives. Are you listening to Him? We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at emmanuel@utma. com.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Summer activities set to begin As we are about to hit the month of June, we are happy to report that there are actually some things happening sports and activity wise. As the number of positive cases of COV-19 continues to decrease at the time of this writing (Except of Cass County), it has allowed for some outdoor summer sports to get underway. T-Ball and Pee Wee baseball will begin at the diamonds in Langdon on June 1. If you still don't have your child signed up for either of those leagues, contact Zack Schaefer for more information. For the remaining divisions, like 10U and 12U Little League and Babe Ruth Baseball, all three will begin league play on June 15. As we told you last week, there will be what's called 19U Independent League baseball for high school aged kids. There are 38 teams statewide in that league, and Langdon will be in a

district with Grafton, Park River, Minto and Larimore. There also will be a district postseason tournament, plus a state tourney at Corbett Field in Minot in August. Tanner Groth will be coaching the Langdon Red Sox independent team, with Jacob Delvo and Hayes Haslekaas coaching the Langdon Babe Ruthers. Also a note that there will also be girls softball this season, with Nancy Feil organizing the Langdon teams. We will have more informtation on that next week. Two golf tournaments cancelled, one postponed, one added; Women's League start June 1 at the LCC With the virus guidelines and restrictions, it has made things tricky to say the least to try and host some events at the Langdon Country Club. Two more tournaments have been cancelled at the course this summer. The Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Foundation Charity Golf Tournament was postponed until some time in August, but now they have decided to cancel everything until next year. And being the U.S./Canada border is still closed

to normal traffic for the a time still be determined, the International Golf Tournament, which had hoped to run a scaled back tourney in late July, also has cancelled their event until 2021. The Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals sports boosters have postponed their event until hopefully later in the summer. There is one tourney that has been added at the Langdon course, however. The club will host a fundraising tournament on June 20. It is planned to be a 2-person scramble format, and anyone is eligible to get signed up for that at the clubhouse. Finally Wednesday Night Women's League golf is set to begin June 3. If you haven't signed up your 2-woman team yet, please call league secretary Jenny Romfo at 701-370-0098. The Langdon Country Club also has added an auto-fry unit, which allows food to be available any time as long as there is staff around to operate it. If you have any questions about the course, call the clubhouse at 701-256-5938. Let's Play Ball!! and "See ya!" next week!

Langdon Long Ago By Rita Maisel

On The Radio The last week of May is officially the centennial of the Canadian Broadcasting Company which connected Canada “from sea to sea” in late May of 1920. As I heard about that celebration, a long ago memory surfaced of Langdon receiving radio messages several years earlier – in fact during World War I. Then, as time went, by more and more memories surfaced about Ross Opie (in high school at the time) picking up messages of war news before it was war news on the ham radio at their home. While looking for something else, the accompanying picture surfaced, given to me years ago by Attorney Robert Price, who said he had gotten it from his long ago classmate, Edwin Devaney, visiting Cavalier County looking after Devaney family's farming interests. When Tom Devaney retired as a Langdon lawyer he had moved to California to live near his son, Edwin. Maybe I could write a story about it. Maybe I did but could find no copy on a recent search. I seem to remember having the picture at the time of members of a national ham radio organization had written asking for research about long ago Langdon resident Ross Opie and his early radio years. So you go back to the beginning. The Opie family are thought to have had the first radio of any kind in Langdon. William Opie, a photographer, was born in England and had opened a studio in the early 1900s in Grand Forks. In 1908, Opie and his wife, Edna, formerly a Minnesota school teacher, and their two children, Ross and Phyllis, had moved to Langdon where they purchased the Salter Studio which remained under the Opie name until the early 1940s when it became the Heimbecker Studio. If you are my age or older your first pictures might have been taken there. Among other pictures which would establish his reputation, William Opie was on hand to photograph the devastation of the May 1909 cyclone which devastated the community and resulted in five deaths as well as several families leaving Langdon for safer homes (they hoped) in Canada or other states. The Grand Forks connection was important as William Opie had a friend there who was interested in a new invention called radio. The first contacts from Langdon were to other radio amateurs in Grand Forks who would go on to establish a station at UND which the late Ed Franta used to write about. Several important things happened in 1917. In April the United States declared war on Germany. In May young Ross Opie and his classmates graduated from Langdon High School. Around that same time, William Opie died, and Ross, along with his mother, took over the photography studio. Company E set up a camp at the fairground to train recruits for service in the war. In October Company E left Langdon on their way to France where they would remain until after the armistice. Pictures of the departing soldiers were in demand and many of them, marked Opie Studio, Langdon, exist today in military and family collections. There were newspaper stories about Ross on the roof over the third floor of the UCT Hotel photographing parades

and the crowds of well wishers when the troops left the area. A related story line has to do with the fact that coulee water or bad wells in Langdon had caused typhoid. The mayor at that time, (Power) living in a house later known as the Borusky Hospital, set out to have city water installed to the homes of those with money. City water was expensive, and the city officials thought existing wells were good enough for people with lower amounts of available funding. Fargo had installed a water system, and through this connection they got in touch with an engineer named Mr. Randolph Arnold who came to Langdon to design the anticipated water project. Described as a dapper young man with silver hair and very attractive to Langdon ladies, Mr. Arnold soon gained the nickname 'The Silver Fox'. In the picture Devaney is on the left and Mr. Randolph Arnold on the right. A young Ukrainian immigrant named Anton Mukomela had been working with Arnold in Fargo and came along to serve as foreman in Langdon. Tony had come to Canada in 1911 with some schooling and a background in mining. Finding work in water system construction was something he adapted to easily, but he also wanted to learn to read and write in English. Tony enrolled in the lower elementary grades to complete that part of his education each morning while working both earlier and later than his co-workers to make up for lost time on the water project. When the work was done, the city hired him as their waterman – a job he held for more than fifty years. Until Tony’s death in the 1970s, the city was mapped in his memory. But now back to the radio. The picture taken at the Opie Studio shows the two men as well as the Opie radio set with earphones and a big round speaker in the background. Devaney held several positions at the courthouse and had begun his law career with the Dickson firm in a small law office just south of the Mooney Bank. As it happened, both Opie and Devaney had homes on 4th Street – Opie on the east and Devaney on the west - at a location now identified as the north side of Edi Ann’s house. Both Devaney and Arnold were fascinated by the voices Opie family members could pick up on their radio not just from other states but also, at times, from other countries. The date of

the picture is thought to have been 1917 or 1918. Mr. Arnold did not settle here permanently, but while he was here his sister, Frances, came to Langdon from their home state of Virginia. She met and married John Byfield. Byfield had operated a store at Dresden then bought

grain and later farmed. The Byfields moved into Langdon in the 1940s. Mrs. Byfield returned to Virginia after her husband’s death, but having a daughter in the area she spent the last years of her life at Maple Manor where she died in 1982. Ross Opie sold some of the first radios to Langdon residents then

moved on to dealerships in larger cities. Along with his wife and other family members, he is also buried in Lebanon Cemetery. The radio interest remained with others joining in the hobby. In the 1940s a cub scout troop was formed which included my brother and his friends. Eventually they became Boy Scouts, and there are memories of them building all sorts of little things like model airplanes and a contraption they called the telegraph key. Eventually they put together a small phonography used to play endless Yogi Yorgeson records and, of course, their ham radios. They got badges for taking tests using the Morse Code. An even clearer memory is of the day Carl Wild, who had just purchased a television set, came to the door to let them know they were broadcasting on the wrong band, and their conversations were coming through his TV set! Encouraged by others the boys went on to keep inventing and building radios, televisions and computers. Bob Pehkhonen may have been a pioneer in inventing smart home appliances. My brother worked as radio and transmitter engineer for the CBS outlet out of Denver for many years. Very possibly, the people who interested Rodney and his friends had personal memories of stories told about Ross Opie and the radio pioneers in Langdon.

Prairie Fare: Where’s the protein?

“If you have ‘helpers’ put them to work,” the article said. “We warn you, you’ll have to grin and bear it the first few times you try putting your family to work,” it continued. “More trouble than the work’s worth, you’ll think.” “But you’ll change your mind once you get them trained,” the article concluded. “They’ll not only help you a lot, there’ll be a more cooperative spirit about everything, especially if you’re generous with praise.” I was flipping through some World War II-era cookbooks in my office. They dated back to 1943 and were written by the Home Economics Institute. They included information about stretching your protein dollar and using your victory garden produce in a variety of ways. They also had some parenting advice, I noted. Despite the books being 77 years old and a bit fragile, much of the advice was good. I think my mother must have read these books. Thinking back, I was the one who was grinning and bearing it when I was a child. To be honest, I wasn’t always grinning as I cleaned, watered plants and helped with dishes. “I’ve never seen such a good worker,” Mom said. Yes, she read the part about the value of praise. I worked even harder. In the World War I and II eras, victory gardens provided food for families, who also were encouraged to preserve foods. Much of the agricultural production during the war was diverted to other parts of the world to offset food shortages. Not only did the gardens provide nutritious food, they boosted morale. In 1943, meat, cheese, fats, canned milk and some processed foods were rationed in the U.S. People were allotted points in ration books for various foods. Despite the war being over for a few decades when I was young, we had “victory gardens” covering our backyard and side yard, plus another garden in the country. Lately, we have a different type of war going on: a battle against a virus. Sadly, this virus is causing illness and death, especially among older generations. Most of us have heard about recent concerns of food shortages. We might have experienced higher costs of meat items or limits on the amount of meat and other protein foods we can purchase. Many meat packing plants have shut down temporarily. As I strolled to the meat counter in the grocery store near my home recently, I didn’t encounter a shortage. If the meat supply is limited where you are, buying meat from local sources is an option in some communities. We also can learn from previous generations, who stretched protein by adding beans, lentils and other foods. We all need protein as part of a nutritious, well-balanced diet, regardless of our age. We need protein to build and repair tissues throughout our body. How much protein do we need, according to the current nutrition research? It might be less than you think. Try this calculation to learn the number of grams of protein you

need. Multiply your body weight (in pounds) by 0.36 gram. On average, a sedentary man weighing 180 pounds would need about 65 grams of protein per day to meet basic needs. If you are more active or ill, your protein needs usually increase. Grams are the units of weight and are used on Nutrition Facts labels. An ounce of pure protein would weigh 28 grams. Foods, however, are mixtures of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Here are some examples to help you add up the protein you eat. A 3-ounce hamburger patty has 28 grams of protein, a 3-ounce piece of chicken has 26 grams and a 3-ounce serving of pork or tuna has 22 grams. A cup of milk has 8 grams of protein, while a 6-ounce serving of Greek yogurt has 18 grams, depending on the brand. Plant proteins, such as beans and lentils, also contribute protein to our diet. One-half cup of kidney beans, 1 ounce of peanuts, 1 ounce of string cheese or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter each contribute 7 grams of protein. Further, one large egg has 5 grams of protein and a slice of whole-grain bread has about 4 grams of protein. To stretch your protein dollar, try making casseroles, stir-fry, soups and other recipes with a variety of vegetables and grains mixed with meat, poultry or fish. Try adding cooked lentils to extend the meat in tacos or sloppy joes. Add more beans to chili. Use less-tender meat cuts to make soup, stew or other recipes with slow, moist-heat cooking methods, which tenderize the meat. Using marinades also can tenderize meat for the grill. Here is a delicious recipe for the grill from the North Dakota Beef Commission, with a 4-ounce portion of meat per person. Explore some of the value cuts available. Citrus-marinated Kabobs 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, boneless, cut 1 inch thick 1 medium orange 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (optional) 4 c. cubed mango, watermelon, peaches and/or plums Salt Grate peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from orange; reserve juice. Combine orange peel, cilantro, paprika and ground red pepper, if desired, in small bowl. Cut beef steak into 1 1/4-inch pieces. Place beef and 2 1/2 tablespoons of cilantro mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Place remaining cilantro mixture and fruit in separate food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bags securely. Marinate beef and fruit in refrigerator 15 minutes to two hours. Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Thread beef evenly onto four skewers, leaving a small space between pieces. Thread fruit onto remaining four separate skewers. Place kabobs on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill beef kabobs, covered, eight to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, nine to 11 minutes) for medium rare (145 F) to medium (160 F) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill fruit kabobs five to seven minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, turning once. Season beef with salt, as desired. Drizzle reserved orange juice over fruit kabobs.
